Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms Thursday 24 May 2018 5:15 p.m. Interfaith Evening Service Commemorating Leonard Bernstein Thursday 24 May 2018 • 5:15 pm Welcome to Grace Cathedral. Today’s service celebrates the centenary of Leonard Bernstein’s birth (25 August 1918 – 14 October 1990). A visionary composer, lyricist, and social activist, Bernstein was deeply rooted in his Jewish identity and also composed music for Christian contexts. The cathedral’s commemoration takes on this interfaith dimension, as Jewish and Christian traditions share in both Bernstein’s music and the psalms as a primary prayer book. In Bernstein's memory, we give thanks, we sing together, and pray that our capacity to love may never be diminished. About the Chichester Psalms. The Cathedral of Chichester, in Sussex, England, has a rich music tradition, including an annual summer choral festival with the neighboring cathedrals in Winchester and Salisbury. For the 1965 Festival, Leonard Bernstein was commissioned to write these psalms, which were completed 7 May 1965. Their world premiere took place three months later, with the composer conducting the New York Philharmonic with a mixed-voice choir, the Camerata Singers. The first performance of the original version, for an all-male choir, was heard on 31 July 1965, at Chichester.

Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1875, alt. The Readings Reflections on the Psalms The people sit. by C. S. Lewis read by Michael Pappas

The most obvious fact about praise—whether of God or anything—strongly escaped me. I thought of it in terms of compliment, approval, or the giving of honor. I had never noticed that all enjoyment spontaneously overflows into praise[ …] The world rings with praise-lovers praising their mistresses, readers their favorite poet, walkers praising the countryside, players praising their favorite game, praise of weather, wines, dishes, actors, motors, horses, colleges, countries, historical personages, children, flowers, mountains, rare stamps, rare beetles, even sometimes politicians and scholars. […] Except where intolerably adverse circumstances interfere, praise almost seems to be the inner health made audible. (from Reflections on the Psalms IX: A Word about Praising) Chichester Psalms: i Sung by the choir in Hebrew. Leonard Bernstein ;Wake up, my spirit; awake, lute and harp עּורָ ה, הַ ּנ ֵבֶלוְכִ ּנֹור (I myself will waken the dawn. (Psalm 108:2 אָ עִ י רָ ה שָ חַ ר : ;Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands הָ י רִ ע ּו לַ י ה וָ ה , כָ ל - הָ אָ רֶ ץ : serve the Lord with gladness עִ ד בְ ּו אֶ ת - ְ י ה וָ ה בְ שִ מְ חָ ה .and come before his presence with a song בֹ אּו לְ פָ נָ יו, בִ רְ נָ נָ ה: ;Know this: The Lord himself is God דְ עּוכִ ייְהוָ ה, הּוא אֱ ֹלהִ ים: ;he himself has made us, and we are his הּוא- עָ שָ נ ּו ,ו ל א אֲ נ ַ חְ נ ּו .we are his people and the sheep of his pastureעַ ּמֹו, וְ צֹאן מַרְ עִ יתֹו: ;Enter his gates with thanksgivingבֹאּו שְ עָרָ יו, בְ תֹודָ ה ;go into his courts with praise חֲ צֵ ר ֹ תָ י ו בִ תְ הִ לָ ה .give thanks to him and call upon his Name הֹודּו-לֹו, בָרְ כּו שְ מֹו: ;For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting כִ י-טֹוב יְהוָ ה, לְ עֹולָם חַסְ דֹו .his faithfulness endures from age to age וְעַ andד-דֹר וָ דֹר, אֱ מּונָתֹו: (Ps. 100)

Ecclesiasticus 42:15-25 read by Rita R. Semel I will now call to mind the works of the Lord, and will declare what I have seen. By the word of the Lord his works are made; and all his creatures do his will. The sun looks down on everything with its light, and the work of the Lord is full of his glory. The Lord has not empowered even his holy ones to recount all his marvelous works, which the Lord the Almighty has established so that the universe may stand firm in his glory. He searches out the abyss and the human heart; he understands their innermost secrets. For the Most High knows all that may be known; he sees from of old the things that are to come. He discloses what has been and what is to be, and he reveals the traces of hidden things. No thought escapes him, and nothing is hidden from him. He has set in order the splendors of his wisdom; he is from all eternity one and the same. Nothing can be added or taken away, and he needs no one to be his counsellor. How desirable are all his works, and how sparkling they are to see! All these things live and remain for ever; each creature is preserved to meet a particular need. All things come in pairs, one opposite to the other, and he has made nothing incomplete. Each supplements the virtues of the other. Who could ever tire of seeing his glory?
